New Album “Mi Hogar” OUT NOW!!

Rachel has presented her Latin Jazz project in many different formats since 2009 with compositions and arrangements tinted with many musical influences from different Latin-American and Caribbean countries. After living in Cuba, studying at the Instituto Supérior de Arte in Havana Cuba in 2008 and having a multitude of experiences with many latin music groups, Therrien founded her own project to play the music of the cultures she’s so passionate about.
